FWIW - Guy on FB SP who had posted a few weeks back (again I won’t name him):

Stadium News:

My source in City government reached out to me saying the deal has not been approved because De Blasio and the city has yet to commit to it. De Blasio is too busy running for President to make a phone call or delegate someone to make it official.

My source said that all the “leaks” saying a deal is done are false. Someone or group has planted those stories and my source and their department are trying to figure out who it is.

Essentially, we are back to 7 years ago... The team, elevator company, local businesses and local officials all want the deal but the De Blasio and the City holding it up and potentially killing the deal.

Fuck de Blasio. He's not even running for president. Look at his campaign website. It's just a button to donate money. I won't even link to it because it doesn't deserve the clicks.

Fuck de Blasio in his stupid fucking face.

If it's still the GAL site, where is Diana Ayala on it? Where are they with Corey Johnson? There are other ways to bring Hizzoner to heel if you need to.

I think we can prove that post to be false.

The leaks were specific to a very specific part of the process.

So what is that idiot talking about?

That reeks of BS. So they’re claiming there is 100% no deal and that the ‘leak’ is false. So they’re looking to identify people that claim false information for what reason?
That makes no sense at all. I don’t see the club wasting resources to identify trolls that post fake leaks.

Agree with you and K Kjbert that it doesn’t make sense in multiple respects. I can always believe that dB is a wrench but the rest killed the cred for me.
 
What I believe more...
Still no Deblasio support and it can still ruin everything.
The rumor hit on a lot of truths. The cost being one and location being another. Also possibly that companies are bidding and that we’re actively shopping the project. Thus warranting an ‘investigation’
 
I think it's okay to start getting a little excited here, boys and girls.:)

I'm not going to share anything specific, just wanted to let the people who follow stadium news that there are very real reasons to be optimistic here.

Talk about beating around the bush... Are you just saying you're optimistic based on reported rumors in recent weeks or do you actually have something you can't share?

I heard some good things about our stadium today.

It's tough because it's something where you can't put the specifics in a public forum, but you also want fellow fans to know that good things are happening. I wasn't sure if I should have shared that there was positive news or not because you can only say so much and people will always want more info.

Respect. Without divulging much, can you say if this info is from the club, politician, or someone involved in possible construction/engineering/design?
